Aimé Leon Dore presents the fifth delivery of its Fall/Winter 2025 collection. This release focuses on a refined view of cold weather sport and leisure, taking specific cues from vintage European ski culture. It is a nostalgic approach, less about technical performance on the slopes and more about the atmosphere surrounding them, like the cinematic warmth of a chalet scene in a Bond film.
The collection draws clear lines between different decades. The Après Lodge Jacket, available in Equestrian Red and Navy Blazer, is a functional outer layer that combines 1970s alpine design with the practicality of 1990s utility wear. It has the structure of performance gear but the color story of an older era. The Fleece Mountain Pullover, in Navy Blazer and Gentian Purple, continues this thread, pairing vintage colors with relaxed proportions.
Knitwear is central to the alpine theme. A Full Zip Alpine Ski Sweater in 100% merino wool directly references classic European influences. Other pieces, the Nordic Knit Hoodie and Chalet Knit Pullover, rework traditional outdoor motifs through a modern lens. The Heritage Patchwork Shirt adds texture with seasonal patterns but introduces Greek inspired embroidery. This detail nods to the brand’s roots amid the broader European references.
Comfort remains a priority. Fleece Sweatpants and matching Crewnecks in Silver Birch, Evergreen, and Sky Captain stress warmth and ease using soft polar fleece. The feeling is about comfort after the activity. Polar fleece and Nordic knit headwear, offered in Toques and Earflap Caps, complete the delivery, reinforcing the theme of coziness.
Delivery 5 releases Thursday, November 13th, at 11 AM EDT on aimeleondore.com and at Aimé Leon Dore flagship stores.
